Realistically. MOST People follow the rules when it's convenient or they are being watched.

The same clowns complaining at Manasquan RR Bridge congestion are throwing a 3 foot wake in the Canal.

The tidal flow for right of way is not a legal right of way and has no legal effect. It's merely a rule of thumb based on logic. But not binding on anyone- especially the guys who MUST run right down the middle.

That RR Bridge there freaks people out and everyone want to run down the middle of an opening that can fit two rec boats, if they bear right. But not down the middle. ON weekends there's too much traffic there for waiting lines. And no one wants to wait either.

Ironically being on the water most weekends for years on the tow boat, there is much less boat traffic than in the past. When gas prices spiked years ago and pre-Sandy. Never recovered. Summer times come 5pm on weekends the place is deserted around SH and the Bay.
